 * How does the affiliate link that is generated work? the affiliate link that is
   generated at the time the user creates the account, with that link, if someone
   accesses, will fall on the homepage, until then all right, but if the person 
   buys any product from the store that is on other pages, he will receive the commission?
   Is there any way I can test this? And another question, where can I change the
   days of cookies?

 * Hello there,
 * thanks for contacting us! 🙂
 * Exactly, once the user is registered as an Affiliate, he can provide his referral
   link to other users, pages, etc. Once a user uses this referral link a cookie
   is generated in the browser of the user associated to the Affiliate. When he 
   does the order, a commission is generated for that Affiliate.
 * You can change the cookie duration in the plugin settings as you can see here:
